Cody Boone Ferguson 04fdea9a14 Update register/submit/pw-change for screenreaders
The three important files, next/{register,submit,pw-change}.{md,html}
no longer have images in them (besides the logo at the top of the image
which has nothing to do with registering, submitting or changing
passwords); instead the text in the images are actual text (in some
cases, just the relevant parts and in others all or almost all).

The png/register.* and png/submit.* images were removed.

<h1 id="how-to-upload-your-submission-to-the-ioccc">How to upload your submission to the IOCCC</h1>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT NOTE</strong>: The <a href="https://submit.ioccc.org">IOCCC submit server</a>
is only ready for submissions
<strong>ONLY WHEN THE CONTEST IS <a href="../faq.html#open">open</a></strong>.</p>
<p>See <a href="../status.html">current status of the IOCCC</a> for details on the contest status.
<strong>IMPORTANT NOTE</strong>: When the contest is <a href="../faq.html#closed">closed</a>, the
<a href="https://submit.ioccc.org">IOCCC submit server</a>
might be offline and unreachable as a website.</p>
<p>To login, open <a href="https://submit.ioccc.org">https://submit.ioccc.org</a>
in your browser. Fill in your login credentials and click “Login”.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE</strong>: if the contest is NOT open you will see something like this instead:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The contest is NOT yet open for submissions.<br>
Sorry (tm Canada 🇨🇦), the IOCCC is not yet open.<br>
The IOCCC is scheduled to open at 2025-03-05 23:19:17.131107 UTC.<br></p>
<p>Message(s):<br>
The IOCCC is not yet open for submissions.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Assuming it is open, and if you’ve not logged in before, you’ll have to change
your password first. See the file <a href="pw-change.html">pw-change.html</a> for more
details. After that you will have to log back in.</p>
<p>Once you’ve logged in, you will see submit slots. Each slot is for one
submission so if you update a submission, make sure you choose the right one so
you do not replace the wrong one!</p>
<p>It will show text and radio buttons for each row (up to 10 numbered <code>0</code> through
<code>9</code>):</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Select</th>
<th>Slot Information</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>0: [N]</td>
<td>Status: slot empty</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>The <code>[N]</code> is a radio button. Tick that to select that slot. Then further down
the page you’ll see the text along the lines of:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>IMPORTANT: Upload only XZ compressed tarballs whose filename is:</p>
<p><code>submit.7ec754d4-8670-421a-a1b6-7dd3dc5f215e-SLOT.TIMESTAMP.txz</code></p>
<p>where <code>SLOT</code> is a slot number, and <code>TIMESTAMP</code> is the build time as a <a href="https://unixtime.org/">Unix
timestamp</a>.</p>
<p>We highly recommend that you use <code>mkiocccentry(1)</code> to create your submit file as
it must pass the <code>txzchk(1)</code> sanity checks, and when the uncompressed tarball is
untarred, the resulting directory must pass <code>chkentry(1)</code>.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>NOTE</strong>: the <code>7ec754d4-8670-421a-a1b6-7dd3dc5f215e</code> is your UUID. <strong>MAKE SURE
YOU CHANGE IT TO YOUR UUID</strong>!</p>
<p><strong>NOTE</strong>: the <code>SLOT</code> and <code>TIMESTAMP</code> <strong>in the filename</strong> are generated based on
your input in <code>mkiocccentry(1)</code>.</p>
<p>Now select the slot you need and then scroll down and click the link that says:
<code>Choose File</code>. A file select option in your browser should open up. Browse for
your <strong>XZ compressed tarball</strong> that was <strong>generated by <code>mkiocccentry(1)</code></strong> and
then click whatever button your browser has to upload the file.</p>
<p>You can see the filename of your **XZ compressed tarball<code>that was **generated by</code>mkiocccentry(1)<code>** you're about to upload if you mouseover it and wait a moment; if you have made a mistake in your file selection, you may click the link that says</code>Choose File` again. Fix your mistake by choosing the correct
file in the file selection pop-up in your browser.</p>
<p>Once you’re certain you have selected the correct file, click “Submit”, below
the file selection step.</p>
<p>When it’s uploaded it should say something like:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>• Uploaded file: <code>submit.9971ada4-b6ae-427d-a7ec-e67a30362cdb-0.1740838915.txz</code></p>
</blockquote>
<p>And in the slot it will give you important details like:</p>
<ul>
<li>the status of the submission (on upload it will say: <code>"uploaded file into slot"</code>).</li>
<li>the filename, which will be in the correct format, assuming you used
<code>mkiocccentry(1)</code> which is <strong>HIGHLY</strong> recommended so that you do not break <a href="rules.html#rule17">Rule
17</a>!</li>
<li>the file length, which <code>txzchk(1)</code> will also verify (the file itself and the
tarball listing).</li>
<li>the upload date.</li>
<li>the SHA256 hash of the file.</li>
</ul>
<p>Again the <code>7ec754d4-8670-421a-a1b6-7dd3dc5f215e</code> is your UUID, the <code>SLOT</code> is the
slot number and <code>TIMESTAMP</code> is the build time as a <a href="https://unixtime.org/">Unix
timestamp</a>.</p>
<p>Now if you’re done, log out.</p>
<p>If, on the other hand,, you upload a file that is too big you will see something
like:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The file size of N exceeds the maximum size of 3999971.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>And if you try uploading an empty file you’ll instead see:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The must not be empty.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>And if you see something like:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Filename for slot: 0 must match this regular expression: <code>^submit.dd3d30c2-d8d0-4506-adcd-d4e029147f39-0\.[1-9][0-9] {9,}\.txz$</code></p>
</blockquote>
<p>where <code>0</code> is the slot and <code>dd3d30c2-d8d0-4506-adcd-d4e029147f39-01</code> is the UUID
then you <strong>MUST</strong> upload a properly named XZ compressed tarball, <strong>MAKING SURE</strong> you
package it with <code>mkiocccentry</code>!</p>
<p>If later on you log in and see something like:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Status: server slot error code: 1! Use mkiocccentry to rebuild and resubmit to
this slot.</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>or:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Status: submit file failed the txzchk test! Use mkiocccentry to rebuild and resubmit to this slot.</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>… or <strong>ANY OTHER ERROR</strong> then you <strong>MUST FIX</strong> your submission, repackage your
tarball with <code>mkiocccentry</code> and upload to the same slot again! If you do not fix
this your submission <strong>WILL BE REJECTED</strong> for violating <a href="rules.html#rule17">Rule
17</a>!</p>
<p>After the submission deadline is reached, you can log in to check the status of
your submissions. This is what it will say when the judges have verified
that your tarball / submission has been validated (NOT judged), by <code>txzchk(1)</code>
and <code>chkentry(1)</code>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Status: the format of this submission has been validated.</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT</strong>: this does <strong>NOT</strong> mean that your submission does not violate the
rules or that everything is OK once the tarball is extracted; it simply means
the tests performed by the tools passed. If you find a flaw in a tool and
abuse it and the tests pass then you stand a significant chance of having your
submission rejected for violating <a href="rules.html#rule17">Rule 17</a>, even if the
tests passed.</p>
<p>For details on <code>txzchk</code>, see the
FAQ on “<a href="../faq.html#txzchk">txzchk</a>”.</p>
<p>For details on <code>chkentry</code>, see the
FAQ on “<a href="../faq.html#chkentry">chkentry</a>”.</p>
<p>If you need more information on the two JSON files, see
FAQ on the <a href="../faq.html#info_json">“.info.json file</a>”
and the
